Analog, or physical, models have been used to investigate problems in structural geology
and tectonics for over two centuries. Together with field observations and theoretical …

Basin inversion involves the reversal of subsidence in a basin due to compressional tectonic
forces, leading to uplift of the basin's sedimentary infill. A thorough understanding of basin …

We review the numerous experimental studies dedicated to unravelling the physics and
dynamics of various parts of a volcanic plumbing system. Section 1 lists the model materials …

We performed a quantitative comparison of brittle thrust wedge experiments to evaluate the
variability among analogue models and to appraise the reproducibility and limits of model …

Abstract 2D contractional scaled analogue experiments with composite materials including
silica-sand and mica-flakes for overburden and silicone for salt analogue are used to …

Surface deformation associated with strike-slip faults can be distributed in space, with
deformation located either along the primary fault strand or around it and referred to as off …

Granular materials are a useful analogue for the Earth's crust in laboratory models of
deformation. Constraining their mechanical properties is critical for such model's scaling and …

Cohesion and friction coefficient are fundamental parameters for scaling brittle deformation
in laboratory models of geological processes. However, they are commonly not …

The architecture (geometry, fault network, and stacking pattern of accreted thrust sheets) of
accretionary wedges influences subduction zone processes. However, it remains …

The analogue materials play a critical role in dynamically scaled experiments, defining the
processes that can be simulated and the structures observable in the model. The dynamic …
